Selecting Presets

The currently selected preset is displayed on the main screen showing the preset number (as it appears in the currently loaded Bank) and its name. EOS provides several methods for selecting presets.

v To Select a Preset:

•Use the Data Entry Control to quickly scroll through the presets.

•Use the Left and Right cursor buttons or the INC and DEC buttons to scroll through them one at a time.

•The Page buttons to scroll through them ten at a time.

•The numeric keypad to punch in the preset number and then press the “Go” button to confirm the selection.

When using the numeric keypad to select presets, you select a preset by entering a 1, 2 or 3 digit number. If fewer than three digits are entered, you must press the Enter or Go button after selecting the number. For example, you could select preset number 3 in any one of three ways:

1.Type “3.” A window pops up asking you to confirm the preset number. Press the “Enter” button or “Go” button.

Introduction

Selecting Presets

O The more sound RAM you have in the unit, the larger the bank size can be and the more presets you can have in the bank at once.

2.Type “03.” A window pops up asking you to confirm the preset number. Press the “Enter” button or “Go” button.

3.Type “003.” (You do not need to press the “Enter” button or “Go” button when entering all three digits of the preset number. Because there are only three possible digits, EOS knows that you’re done.)

Presets are contained in the bank you loaded earlier so they are instantly accessible when selected, unlike SoundSprint presets, which take a second or two to load from the hard disk.

The next and previous presets are displayed in the upper corners of the screen. The next preset is displayed in the upper right hand corner, the previous preset is shown in the upper left hand corner.

Lock Button

The +/- button has an alternate function as a digit “Lock” button. When used as a lock, it sets the number of digits that you must enter to change a preset using the numeric keypad. Locking 1 digit (Lock 1 mode) requires you to enter the remaining two digits, but gives you a selection of 100 presets. Locking 2 digits requires only a single button press, but reduces the selection range to 10 presets. Press the Lock button repeatedly from the preset selection screen to rotate through the modes.

After entering the first digit in Lock 1 mode (meaning you need to enter 2 digits to select the preset by number), a popup window appears listing the ten presets in that rank. Use the Page buttons to select the next or previous ten presets. Use the cursor buttons to select a preset in that rank.

•The Lock button can be used to set the current rank of ten Bookmarks in SoundSprint mode. Press and Hold the Lock button and select a number to change the rank.

If you are in the Lock 1 mode and you only enter one digit, a message pops up asking you to confirm the preset number. You must press the Enter or Go button to confirm the selection.

For example, to select preset number 3, type “3.” A window pops up asking you to confirm the preset number. Press the “Enter” button or “Go” button.
